Izzaks KTN YJ

[2lostspace]

OK I am starting this for Izzak. I picked up a YJ for little to nothing and he is in the process of tearing it down. Unsure what is going to happen to it, I plan on saving the tub and putting CJ front on it. We will see in the next couple of weeks what happens, if I can stay in town.

He is working really hard at taking the YJ apart. He has done most of the work himself.

Thats cause he was dying to get rid of that hideous body on that model.

That was the first thing that he removed. We got the rest of the front fenders off today and got all the interior out. Started to remove the dash I got to use a BFH on the glove box. I hope more tomorrow. Izzak is getting more pictures in the morning.

Izzak and I worked on the YJ this morning, he was out there sooner than me. I just had a hard time getting motivated this morning. We got closer to getting the tub off.

Looks like fun (I think), can you save the images as a larger size? They are tough to see.

x2 and my eyes arent that bad. A little bigger will give alot better detail.

I will work on the pictures, Using photbucket trying to figure out the thing.

Try Web shots

Or just upload the large images to our gallery, they will be automatically resized.

Also, when you attach them to a post, attach the large versions, they will be resized also...

It took a while to get the tub off the frame but is done. Izzak did most the work due to the fact that I keep gettig sent out of town for work. He has also recruted his friend to help on the project. Good kid but couldnt tell a wrench from a screw driver, he really wants to learn.

Now with the tub off I need to get some body pannels. Where is the cheepest and or best place to look for them.

I also got some pictures of the CJ5 frame that I am going to use for the tub. Yes I know it is shorter than the YJ or the CJ7 tub but I can only use what I can. I think I know where to cut the tub to mount it on the CJ5 frame.

Kelly sorry I didnt get up with you while i was back in ketch , had alot of work to do to the boat!

As for the yj tub fitting on the 5 frame good luck!!!!
the place to cut it is at the door but making the door look right is going to be a mofo

Im still trying to find out about the 7 that i have in whittier, might be able to hook you up with that if you can find a way to get it to ketch

 

[2lostspace]

Hay that is ok. I know that you were busy when you got down here.
On the YJ tub there is that extra section between the step in the back and the Transmission hump that extra section needs to be removed and then cut back were the door opening is. This thing will look like a smaller CJ7 I think when I am done. I could get the left and right side pannels for a CJ5 and do it that way also.

I will work on that when I get back from Juneau, getting shipped off there for two weeks starting Sunday.

Let me know about the CJ7 when you find out.

Well Izzak and I had some time today to work on the YJ. I got the engine out and front axle out, I used my shop truck for the engine. I traded the 4.0 for another AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l . I cut out part of the frame just in case that I need it.
